This document demonstrates how to install `code-server` on various distros and
|
|
operating systems.
|
|
|
|
## install.sh
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to install code-server is to use our [install
|
|
script](https://github.com/coder/code-server/blob/main/install.sh) for Linux, macOS and FreeBSD. The install script
|
|
[attempts to use the system package manager](#detection-reference) if possible.
|
|
|
|
You can preview what occurs during the install process:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --dry-run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To install, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can modify the installation process by including one or more of the
|
|
following flags:
|
|
|
|
- `--dry-run`: echo the commands for the install process without running them.
|
|
- `--method`: choose the installation method.
|
|
- `--method=detect`: detect the package manager but fallback to
|
|
`--method=standalone`.
|
|
- `--method=standalone`: install a standalone release archive into `~/.local`.
|
|
- `--prefix=/usr/local`: install a standalone release archive system-wide.
|
|
- `--version=X.X.X`: install version `X.X.X` instead of latest version.
|
|
- `--help`: see usage docs.
|
|
|
|
When done, the install script prints out instructions for running and starting
|
|
code-server.
|
|
|
|
> If you're concerned about the install script's use of `curl | sh` and the
|
|
> security implications, please see [this blog
|
|
> post](https://sandstorm.io/news/2015-09-24-is-curl-bash-insecure-pgp-verified-install)
|
|
> by [sandstorm.io](https://sandstorm.io).
|
|
|
|
If you prefer to install code-server manually, despite the [detection
|
|
references](#detection-reference) and `--dry-run` feature, then continue on for
|
|
information on how to do this. The [`install.sh`](https://github.com/coder/code-server/blob/main/install.sh) script runs the
|
|
_exact_ same commands presented in the rest of this document.
|
|
|
|
### Detection reference
|
|
|
|
- For Debian and Ubuntu, code-server will install the latest deb package.
|
|
- For Fedora, CentOS, RHEL and openSUSE, code-server will install the latest RPM
|
|
package.
|
|
- For Arch Linux, code-server will install the AUR package.
|
|
- For any unrecognized Linux operating system, code-server will install the
|
|
latest standalone release into `~/.local`.
|
|
|
|
- Ensure that you add `~/.local/bin` to your `$PATH` to run code-server.
|
|
|
|
- For macOS, code-server will install the Homebrew package (if you don't have
|
|
Homebrew installed, code-server will install the latest standalone release
|
|
into `~/.local`).
|
|
|
|
- Ensure that you add `~/.local/bin` to your `$PATH` to run code-server.
|
|
|
|
- For FreeBSD, code-server will install the [npm package](#yarn-npm) with `yarn`
|
|
or `npm`.
|
|
|
|
- If you're installing code-server onto architecture with no releases,
|
|
code-server will install the [npm package](#yarn-npm) with `yarn` or `npm`
|
|
- We currently offer releases for amd64 and arm64.
|
|
- The [npm package](#yarn-npm) builds the native modules on post-install.
|
|
|
|
## yarn, npm
|
|
|
|
We recommend installing with `yarn` or `npm` when:
|
|
|
|
1. You aren't using a machine with `amd64` or `arm64`.
|
|
1. You are installing code-server on Windows
|
|
1. You're on Linux with `glibc` < v2.17, `glibcxx` < v3.4.18 on `amd64`, `glibc`
|
|
< v2.23, or `glibcxx` < v3.4.21 on `arm64`.
|
|
1. You're running Alpine Linux or are using a non-glibc libc. See
|
|
[#1430](https://github.com/coder/code-server/issues/1430#issuecomment-629883198)
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
Installing code-server with `yarn` or `npm` builds native modules on install.
|
|
|
|
This process requires C dependencies; see our guide on [installing with yarn and npm][./npm.md](./npm.md) for more information.
|
|
|
|
## Standalone releases
|
|
|
|
We publish self-contained `.tar.gz` archives for every release on
|
|
[GitHub](https://github.com/coder/code-server/releases). The archives bundle the
|
|
node binary and node modules.
|
|
|
|
We create the standalone releases using the [npm package](#yarn-npm), and we
|
|
then create the remaining releases using the standalone version.
|
|
|
|
The only requirement to use the standalone release is `glibc` >= 2.17 and
|
|
`glibcxx` >= v3.4.18 on Linux (for macOS, there is no minimum system
|
|
requirement).
|
|
|
|
To use a standalone release:
|
|
|
|
1. Download the latest release archive for your system from
|
|
[GitHub](https://github.com/coder/code-server/releases).
|
|
2. Unpack the release.
|
|
3. Run code-server by executing `./bin/code-server`.
|
|
|
|
You can add `./bin/code-server` to your `$PATH` so that you can execute
|
|
`code-server` without providing full path each time.
|
|
|
|
Here is a sample script for installing and using a standalone code-server
|
|
release on Linux:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.local/lib ~/.local/bin
|
|
curl -fL https://github.com/coder/code-server/releases/download/v$VERSION/code-server-$VERSION-linux-amd64.tar.gz \
|
|
| tar -C ~/.local/lib -xz
|
|
mv ~/.local/lib/code-server-$VERSION-linux-amd64 ~/.local/lib/code-server-$VERSION
|
|
ln -s ~/.local/lib/code-server-$VERSION/bin/code-server ~/.local/bin/code-server
|
|
PATH="~/.local/bin:$PATH"
|
|
code-server
|
|
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Debian, Ubuntu
|
|
|
|
> The standalone arm64 .deb does not support Ubuntu 16.04 or earlier. Please
|
|
> upgrade or [build with yarn](#yarn-npm).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -fOL https://github.com/coder/code-server/releases/download/v$VERSION/code-server_$VERSION_amd64.deb
|
|
sudo dpkg -i code-server_$VERSION_amd64.deb
|
|
sudo systemctl enable --now code-server@$USER
|
|
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, SUSE
|
|
|
|
> The standalone arm64 .rpm does not support CentOS 7. Please upgrade or [build
|
|
> with yarn](#yarn-npm).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -fOL https://github.com/coder/code-server/releases/download/v$VERSION/code-server-$VERSION-amd64.rpm
|
|
sudo rpm -i code-server-$VERSION-amd64.rpm
|
|
sudo systemctl enable --now code-server@$USER
|
|

|
|
yay -S code-server
|
|
sudo systemctl enable --now code-server@$USER
|
|
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash

|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew install code-server
|
|
brew services start code-server
|
|
# Now visit http://127.0.0.1:8080. Your password is in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Docker
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# This will start a code-server container and expose it at http://127.0.0.1:8080.
|
|
# It will also mount your current directory into the container as `/home/coder/project`
|
|
# and forward your UID/GID so that all file system operations occur as your user outside
|
|
# the container.
|
|
#
|
|
# Your $HOME/.config is mounted at $HOME/.config within the container to ensure you can
|
|
# easily access/modify your code-server config in $HOME/.config/code-server/config.json
|
|
# outside the container.
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.config
|
|
docker run -it --name code-server -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \
|
|
-v "$HOME/.config:/home/coder/.config" \
|
|
-v "$PWD:/home/coder/project" \
|
|
-u "$(id -u):$(id -g)" \
|
|
-e "DOCKER_USER=$USER" \
|
|
codercom/code-server:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Our official image supports `amd64` and `arm64`. For `arm32` support, you can
|
|
use a [community-maintained code-server
|
|
alternative](https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/code-server).
|
|
|
|
## Helm
|
|
|
|
You can install code-server using the [Helm package manager](https://coder.com/docs/code-server/latest/helm).
|
|
|
|
## Windows
|
|
|
|
We currently [do not publish Windows releases](https://github.com/coder/code-server/issues/1397). We recommend installing code-server onto Windows with [`yarn` or `npm`](#yarn-npm).
|
|
|
|
> Note: You will also need to [build coder/cloud-agent manually](https://github.com/coder/cloud-agent/issues/17) if you would like to use `code-server --link` on Windows.
|
|
|
|
## Raspberry Pi
|
|
|
|
We recommend installing code-server onto Raspberry Pi with [`yarn` or
|
|
`npm`](#yarn-npm).
|
|
|
|
If you see an error related to `node-gyp` during installation, See [#5174](https://github.com/coder/code-server/issues/5174) for more information.
|
|
|
|
## Termux
|
|
|
|
Please see code-server's [Termux docs](./termux.md#installation) for more
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
## Cloud providers
|
|
|
|
We maintain [one-click apps and install scripts for cloud
|
|
providers](https://github.com/coder/deploy-code-server) such as DigitalOcean,
|
|
Railway, Heroku, and Azure.
|
|
|
|
## Uninstall
